PEN America On 
NEW: PEN America CEO @SuzanneNossel says punishing a doctor and a journalist for critiquing the official line on #COVID19 is disturbing. She cautions that the U.S. should not "succumb to the virus of information suppression." https://bit.ly/33VOI6I

"A Force Outside Myself: Citizens Over 60 Speak" is a project by @mcsweeneys that aims to publish the voices of Americans over 60 as American elders have been marginalized, scapegoated, and written off during this moment of turmoil in history.
